Teacher Demands Unrealistic

January 21, 1992|The Morning Call

To the Editor:

"Bankruptcies," "unemployment figures climb," "jobless may flood welfare rolls," "going out of business." This is the economic situation in which Saucon Valley teachers union demanded a 42 percent raise over two years.

Is this union some sort of "sacred cow," immune from reality? Seems to me if a person has a less-stressful job at an average of $35,875 for 10 months, in these times, he or she should be darn thankful!
